Multiple other site users arrested across Germany and Austria, offices say

Site used to swap pornographic images and arrange sexual abuse of children

Before police brought it down, the forum had more than 87,000 members

The website was used for the worldwide exchange of child pornography and to make appointments for the sexual abuse of children, prosecutors said.

"Among the child pornographic images and video files exchanged by the members of the platform were recordings of the most serious sexual abuse of children, including toddlers and depiction of sexual violence against children," it said.
